**edit - fixed the title. Thanks for the info to ID this coin!**

Found this one today. Must be fairly rare as I do a box a week and haven't found one before. Nice condition too! Any value or just a fun novelty piece?

Looks more like a misaligned die than an off center strike. Neat error and definitely worth more than a nickel. $10-$20 maybe?

That's a solid example of a misaligned die. It's especially nice because you can see the weakness in the reverse strike where the obverse hammer die failed to overlap it correctly. The nickel itself is in great condition. I wonder if it was liberated from an old collection?

I agree with the $10-20 estimate.

Great find! It's not Off Center strike though. If it was, both sides would be Off Center as well. This is called a Misaligned Die strike.
